Oman today_ The European Union has taken a historic step by registering Turkish coffee (Türk kahvesi) on its Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) list. This decision officially recognizes the over 500-year heritage of this beloved beverage across Europe and provides legal protection against commercial imitation and potential misuse.
This registration carries special significance, as Turkish coffee had previously been included in UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. With this recognition, it becomes the first Turkish product to receive this prestigious certification within the European Union. This achievement is not only a major milestone for Turkey but also helps promote the rich culture of Turkish coffee (Türk kahvesi) globally, enhancing its cultural and commercial value in international markets.
